I have been providing my subdomain name to friend until he manages to get new domain.
Now he has it and I would like to 301 redirect all the old links to his domain:
Example:
http://subdomain.my-domain.com/post.php?118&tg=602643
Redirect to
http://subdomain.com/post.php?118&tg=602643
So I want to keep up all the variables behind the post.php in the redirect
I am .htaccess newbie - can you please help me with providing the correct Rewrite rule?
Also, If you happen to have any good article about .htaccess and how to manage it, link is really appreciated.
Thanks
EDIT
Here are actual usecases I want to do:
redirect
http://raketa2.tasselhof.com/nastenka.php?115&up=648483
to
http://www.raketa2.cz/nastenka.php?115&up=648483
However, since there is no more subdomain existent on my site, i see the 404 error on my main page as this:
/nastenka.php?115&up=648483 -> Provided 404 Error
I tried:
RewriteCond %{Request_URI} ^/nastenka\.php [NC]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^\d+&tg=\d+$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.raketa2.cz/$1?%{QUERY_STRING} [R=301,L]
But with no good...
SOLVED
Duh! I am really dumb. I just added two new CNAME records to my domain DNS. Should do the trick
Do this:
RewrtiteEngine on
ReWriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^subdomain\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://subdomain.com/$1?%{QUERY_STRING} [R=301,L]
The QUERY_STRING post.php?118&tg=602643 will be present.
Assuming that there is no post.php on your domain,
Do this:
RewrtiteEngine on
ReWriteBase /
RewriteCond %{Request_URI} ^/post\.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://subdomain.com/$1?%{QUERY_STRING} [R=301,L]
If post.php is present on your domain but, you do not use similar query strings,
Do this:
RewrtiteEngine on
ReWriteBase /
RewriteCond %{Request_URI} ^/post\.php [NC]
RFewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^\d+&tg=\d+$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://subdomain.com/$1?%{QUERY_STRING} [R=301,L]

I need help to write proper rewrite rules in my htaccess files.
I need to redirect something like fr.example.com to example.com/fr, because we recently changed the whole website and the multilingual system is managed differently. The structure and the pages too.
I managed to do that successfully with this piece of code:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^fr\.example\.com [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://example.com/fr/$1 [L,R=301]
My problem now is to write something more specific for pages, for example :
fr.example.com/discover/foo should go to example.com/fr/bar/foo (different path, nothing consistant)
BUT ! example.com/discover/foo should go to example.com/bar/foo (end of the url is the same in both english and french)
Right now, since I have some common 301 redirects, the french urls aren't redirect properly and lead to the english pages. For example that one :
Redirect 301 /discover/foo /bar/otherfoo
Successfully redirects example.com/discover/foo to example.com/bar/otherfoo but also redirects fr.example.com/discover/otherfoo
How can I write two different rules for english and french? I'll have to write a bunch of different rules since everything is very different from the old subdomain to the new directory, I don't mind.
Thanks !
EDIT
Please note that it's for a wordpress installation, and the htaccess starts with :
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
First the these rules:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^fr\.example\.com [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://example.com/fr/$1 [L,R=301]
should look like this :
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?fr\.example\.com [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://example.com/fr/$1 [L,R=301]
In order to capture bot www & non-www requests for subdomain.
Also this rule :
Redirect 301 /discover/foo /bar/foo
Will capture both requests to domain and sub-domains and using mod_rewrite here is correct not mod_alias so , replace this line with :
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?example\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^discover/foo http://example.com/bar/foo [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?(fr)\.example\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^discover/foo http://example.com/%2/bar/foo [L,R=301]
Note: clear browser cache then test.
I am in a situation where an user can create his blog in a subdomain.
Users will create blogs and enter the address he wants like say,
abcd.domain.com Then my php code creates a directory called abcd.
To view the blog user will type in abcd.domain.com in his browser and I want a .htaccess code which will rewrite the url and open the files inside the domain.com/abcd
But for the user the url in the browser should stay abcd.domain.com
Currently I am trying this code
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^test\.domain\.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^test/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /test/$1 [L,QSA]
But this gives me 404 even though I have a file test.html inside the test folder and trying to view that page.
Also in this situation I will have to manually make change to the .htaccess file for URL rewrite. What I want to know is if it is possible to have a wild card subdomain redirect to the respective directory.
You can use:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^test\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/test/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /test/$1 [L,QSA]
REQUEST_URI with leading /.
With wild card subdomain:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.+)\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/%1/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /%1/$1 [L,QSA]
Note that it takes more than a rewrite rule to have wildcard subdomains. Just fyi.
You need to have created a wildcard DNS record for subdomains and also tell apache to use any subdomain request by having a ServerAlias of *.domain.com in the apache config.
Then try your rule this way and see if it works for you.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^((?!www).+)\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %1::%{REQUEST_URI} !^(.*?)::/\1/?
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /%1/$1 [L,QSA]
I have a website on a domain that I want to move to another domain. Here is my problem. The root URL has to redirect to a different location on the new domain. Example:
http://subdomain.olddomain.com/ must redirect to http://www.newdomain.com/location
http://subdomain.olddomain.com/code/slug must redirect to http://www.newdomain.com/slug
The htaccess code that I have doesn't work ver
RewriteRule ^/?(.*) http://www.newdomain.com/$1 [R=302,L]
This code works for the second example, but nog on the first. Can anyone help me setup the correct htaccess code?
Try:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^subdomain\.olddomain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^code/(.*)$ http://www.newdomain.com/$1 [L,R]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^subdomain\.olddomain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ http://www.newdomain.com/location [L,R]
I have a Magento website that is moving to a new domain. Im looking to 301 redirect all pages from the old domain to the new domain keeping same url structure.
I've updated the .htaccess file on my old domain with:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^new-domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://new-domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
The issue: The above seems to redirect every instance of: old-domain.com/subdir/whatever only just to the main domain: new-domain.com.
I'd be looking to redirect old-domain.com/subdir/whatever to: new-domain.com/subdir/whatever.
Any idea on what could be wrong?
Adjust your rule to use REQUEST_URI variable which is not dependent on the directory of .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?old-domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://new-domain.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L,NE]
Better to clear your browser cache before testing this rule.
PS: You need to match hostname condition to old-host not the new-host.
This should redirect and retain the path after the main domain.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^old-domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://new-domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
I have a site that has been up for some time. I had a blog on a subdomain for some time. I have decided to do away with the main site and just support the blog subdomain.
I have a redirect setup for this, but it carries all the extra parameters through to the blog which results in a file not found page appearing. I just want the redirect to go to the index page without parameters.
What I currently have in my .htaccess file is this
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^.*$
RewriteRule ^/?(.*)$ "http\:\/\/blog\.foo\.org\/index\.php" [R=301,L]
When I get a request to
http://www.foo.org/foo/foo/?module=foo
it redirects to
http://blog.foo.org/foo/foo/index.php?module=foo
I want it to redirect to
http://blog.foo.org/index.php
You have to specify the query in the replacement to override the original:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^blog\.example\.org$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://blog.example.org/index.php? [R=301,L]
RewriteEngine On
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?foo\.org$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://blog.foo.org/ [R=301,L]
